Spread the Fontina cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Arrange the leeks, asparagus, and snap peas evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle with black pepper. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the warm pizza and garnish with scallions. Slice and serve.
